I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting back.
Walking greatly improves my mental health too. I'm feeling less irritable and depressed after walking.
I want this to be a support thread for people who exercise and eat healthy so if you do any of that post here!

I walked a mile, hiked 3 miles and worked outside last week.

Good for you, Rizen. For me today it was a happy 1.1 km walk.

I walked 1..2 km again today, grateful for every step and for not being back in last year's wheelchair.
mujicaptsd
Continuing today we walked 1.1 km. :-)

We walked 1.1 km and though it's the Mexican rainy season here where I've retired today and it usually pours afternoons and evenings it didn't rain today so we got to walk in the beautiful daily Tuxtla sunset.

I walked 1.1 km again today, too, jptexas. My poodle loved it. :-)
Rizen
I hiked 4 miles and worked outside for 3 hours this week.

Keep it up, Rizen! Here I hope to walk my daily 1 km still, but the forecast is for pouring rain here in Mexico's rainy season, so we'll see.

I did my 1.2 km of walking again today. I'm so blessed to be healthy enough to.
Rizen
I walked 3 miles and gardened for 2 hours this week.

I did 1.1 km with my poodle today, in the morning this time. It was cooler.

I've got CKD nerve pain spreading now so I couldn't walk today. That's ok, I have walked for umpteen days straight lately. I'll walk again.

I missed the rare day walking yesterday so I'm thrilled that I got back to walking 1.1 km again today.
